I’ve always thought there to be something so magical about Scotland: the soulful tunes of their bagpipes, the fog that clings to the Highlands, and the legends of monsters who dwell beneath their lochs. It has been a privilege and a dream come true to study at the University of Edinburgh in the nation’s capital for the past semester, with much thanks to Mount Holyoke College’s Laurel Fellowship through the McCulloch Center for Global Initiatives.
